Manganese zinc oxide semiconductor thin films have been deposited by sol-gel process on glass substrate which was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and UV-Vis spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The as deposited thin films on glass are monophasic with good crystallinity and hexagonal wurtzite structure. In order to increase the photocatalytic efficiency of the zinc oxide coatings the authors optimized the sol-gel process and doped the coatings with manganese. By slightly doping the zinc oxide films with 2 at% manganese the photocatalytic performance is increased compared to pure zinc oxide semiconductor thin films. The photocatalytic performance of the manganese zinc oxide films was evaluated by the decomposition of a textile dye (C.I. Reactive Yellow 86) (RY86) with UV light irradiation. This investigation will give a new insight to understanding the industrial textile dye photodegradation in aquatic environment.
